Chapter 400: The First Township Test

After entering, you will have to wait patiently for the next day's exam.

Sleeping in such a very uncomfortable environment is a great torment for the candidate's body and mind, in the middle of the night Zhu Hao heard a violent cough from the next room, and it didn't stop for a long time, making people upset and unable to sleep.

Because the exam has not yet started, there is not even a patrol at night, and it is casual to go to the thatched house, and there are footsteps from time to time outside, but those who do not come together to talk are afraid that they will be disqualified from the exam because of their own noise and inviting people to patrol the field.

This lasted until dawn, and Zhu Hao didn't sleep for two hours all night.

At this moment, there was the sound of gongs beating outside.

The exam has finally officially begun, and it is time for the questions.

The door of the examination shed was opened from the outside, and the candidates would not have any time to freshen up, and the officers and soldiers of the patrol field directly sent in the test papers of the first examination, so that you could eat or continue to sleep in the dormitory, and no one would care about you, as long as you did not affect other candidates.

Even if you sleep in it for three days in a row, or don't come to the second show, it's your freedom...... Who cares?

The sky is not fully bright.

When Zhu Hao got the test paper, he could just read the words on it, and if he wanted to write an article in this light, he couldn't do it at all.

It could have been lit with candles...... But the candle is a thing that you will only get one for an exam, and you will need to use it for two nights in the future, and saving is king.

It is enough for Zhu Hao to see the topic clearly.

You can think about the topic in your head.

The first exam, three four-book essays.

Three questions, cut two by yourself.

Zhu Hao thought to himself, sure enough, the butterfly effect began to play a role, all three questions in the township test in the eleventh year of Zhengde, this time only the second in the second, it seems that it is difficult to say whether the questions of the next year's examination are still the questions in history.

The first question of the "Analects": "Zi said: Sex is similar, and Xi is far away." ”

What a famous sentence for the ages!

"The Three Character Classic" carries the general sentence, any newly enlightened child, even if the words are not known, "sex is similar and Xi is far away" will know.

This is also the only one of Zhu Hao's three questions that did not hit the mark.

The second question "Mencius" title: "Leaving Lou Zhiming, the skill of the public losing the son, not according to the rules, can not become a square member: the teacher is open, not with six rules, can not be the five tones; The way of Yao Shun is not to govern with benevolence, and it cannot rule the world peacefully. ”

This is a broken sentence, which is equivalent to a variant in the truncated question, and there is not even the words "Mencius said" in the front, in fact, there is a second half of Mencius's sentence.

From the question to the question type, this question can be said to have been completely bet by Zhu Hao, and it cannot be called a bet question, it is simply the question of the Huguang Township test in history.

There are no rules, there is no circle, this is talking about rules and norms, as for talking about the benevolent government of the way of Yao Shun, it is only discussing the importance of rules, and this is not the main argument.

The third question of "University" is asked: "Kanghe" says: Kemingde. "Taijia" said: Gu Yutian's destiny. "Imperial Classics" said: Keming Junde. It's all self-explanatory. ”

This question is more neat, and it is about the importance of "enlightenment", that is, the so-called bright morality, which should not only be celebrated, but also self-evident and used for oneself...... This is the most basic direction of discourse in the imperial examination.

After all, the most frequently discussed content in the Confucian classics is benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, and faith, and almost all of these can be included in the cultivation of personal morality.

Some people may say that there are things in Confucian culture with false benevolence and false righteousness, but in fact, Confucianism still praises these noble virtues, if some people can't learn the real virtues but only experience the false benevolence and false righteousness from them, it can only be said that you can't understand the true meaning of the words of the sages, and you can't learn at home.

Of course, it can also be said that in terms of human character, the more they lack something, the more emphasis is placed on something, and Confucianism's way of emphasizing only moral norms has brought about the existence of false Taoism in society.

In short, the level of human morality is not supported by some kind of knowledge, but still depends on personal experience and cultivation, and sometimes it is said that the poor mountains and bad waters come out of the people, but also because the most basic demand of human beings is survival, and under the premise of violating survival, it is unrealistic to want to cultivate people into moral pioneers.

……

……

Two out of three.

Zhu Hao is now starting to worry about Sun Ru, who doesn't know which exam booth to take the exam in.

Such an apprentice who is difficult to achieve great things, even if there are two articles that can be applied to the articles written by the master for you, but just the first question may make you unnamed on the list.

The first three articles and four books almost determined the level of the township test results.

The first question is the most important, this question seems very simple, but after all, Zhu Hao has not studied it in advance, and its literal meaning is that Confucius said: "Human nature is similar, and they are different from each other because of different habits." ”

The "Annotations to the Collection of Chapters and Sentences of the Analects" explains: "This so-called sex is also in terms of temperament. The nature of temperament is different from inherent beauty and evil. However, in the beginning, they were not very far away. But if you are accustomed to good, you will be good, and if you are accustomed to evil, you will be evil, so you will be far away. Cheng Zi said: "This is the temperament of temperament. The essence of non-verbality is also. If it is the essence of the word, then sex is reason, and reason is not bad, and Mencius's words are good. How similar is it? ’”

It is a bit of a meaning that is close to Zhu and close to ink and black, so in the Four Books and Five Classics, most of the articles and sentences can be found in the general meaning, especially the words of the two great sages of Confucius and Mencius, which can be discussed in different sentences, and the results are basically the same.

There are also many relevant examples that can be found in the experiences of saints, and it is impossible to go into them one by one.

The direction of discourse is to learn good from good people, not to approach evil, and to face all the evil in the world with the goodness of nature, and not to rely on the goodness of words to support it, which is equivalent to not being able to say one thing and do another, and the goodness shown on the lips is not good......

……

……

It's still early.

The sun came out for a while, but Zhu Hao still didn't start writing.

Such a large prison-like examination room, for Zhu Hao, writing three articles and four books, let alone three days, three hours is redundant, but the problem is that you can't hand in the papers in advance, you have to stay for enough time.

In this way, it is more important to maintain a good attitude than to finish the article early.

After writing it, there is nothing to do, and when I look back, I find that there is a taboo in the article, or the interview paper is dirty, and I guess I want to die in the house.

So the best way to do this is to write all three articles in one go on the morning of the third day, hand them in and leave, go back to enjoy the day's freedom, and then come back to suffer......

As for the last two questions.

Zhu Hao didn't need to spend too much time researching, after all, he had already studied in detail, discussed a lot of articles on this, picked out the right direction from them, and sent Sun Ru one......

Look out.

I didn't see anyone on patrol.

Probably even the people who patrol the venue are not afraid of candidates cheating.

The biggest problem is that it is very difficult to pass the township exam, if you want to take the exam or exchange ears, it is of little significance, who dares to guarantee that the one next door will stand out among thousands of people? People have the ability to get the exam, why do they have to talk to you to help you write articles?

It's already to the point of taking the township test, can you still not understand the meaning of the sage's words? Candidates are above the top and need to be reminded by others?

As for the substitute exam...... This is unlikely to happen.

If you are trying to find a substitute for the exam, why do you have to find someone or a jinshi to help, right?

It has to be similar...... How much money do you give to someone who can risk notoriety to take the exam for you? And it is no exaggeration to say that even if he really found a person or a jinshi exam, he could pass it successfully before, but this township exam may not be successful.

The township exam is such a magical exam, although they are all written articles, and they are still argumentative essays, maybe he has insight into the words of other sages and can pass the exam, but the questions in the exam are different every time, how can he guarantee that this time the argument is just right?

And every time the grader is different......

No matter how gorgeous your rhetoric is, it will be in vain in the imperial examination......

Although it is said that you have a sharp and accurate point of view, not everyone has a unique insight into every argument in the Confucian classics, and a few dozen people are selected out of thousands...... You can't do it without real skills.

……

……

The first day of the exam.

Zhu Hao saw that the people who patrolled the field passed by his house only three times, so the people who patrolled the field also dealt with things casually.

Originally, Zhu Hao thought that the supervision of the three examinations for children was already relaxed, but compared with the township examination, the three seemed to be a lot stricter, at least there were officials who patrolled the field in each examination shed, and the door of the examination shed was basically locked in the township examination.

This also proves that the township examination is difficult.

In the afternoon, Zhu Hao began to try to write his first article, but only on scratch paper.

The weather is hot and stuffy, Zhu Hao can only wear a single clothes for the exam, in such a closed environment, there is a feeling of suffocation that makes people breathless, there is no wind at all, and the air he breathes is scorching, if there is a piece of ice in front of him at this time......

Just when Zhu Hao was thinking about good things, there was a scolding voice in the distance: "Who the hell is shitting in the number house?" Smoked to death, you know? ”

"Hehehe......"

Laughter rang out all around.

This involves another problem, if no one comes to the patrol, to go to the toilet tuba, can not apply, and finally helpless can only solve the tuba in their own urine bucket, they are happy, but the candidate next door can be unlucky.

Some candidates are very easy to get nervous during the exam, and it is common to have diarrhea when running, and on such a hot day, it is common to eat something to hurt your stomach.

As a result, the environment in the examination booth is getting worse and worse.

Fortunately, the incident did not happen to the house around Zhu Hao, otherwise he would have to endure both physical and mental torture...... It is estimated that I can't sleep well at night.

After a small episode, there was no sound.

Candidates are all answering questions with their heads bored, and if they don't know, they think that there is no one around.

By sunset, the sky turned cloudy, and finally there was a cool breeze, which made people feel comfortable and feel much better.

Zhu Hao ate his first meal after entering the examination room, but he ate two pieces of pea cake that he brought in yesterday, ate a few pieces of dried tofu in oil, and drank some water...... After entering the examination room all day, I was relieved for the first time.

Suddenly I found myself like an ascetic.

I just hope that the three exams can be finished early and I will no longer suffer.
